Subject: excited (and nervous) to share this with you
Hello!
I hope you’re having a sweet and restorative holiday season.
Earlier this year, I was interviewed on the Inner Rebel podcast. I did a lot of podcast interviews this year (you can see them all here) and assumed this conversation would be more of the same. Well, I was mistaken!
This interview was unlike any other conversation I had this year. We skipped over the standard surface-level podcast chatter and dove straight into the deep end. It’s the most personal interview I’ve ever done… and I loved every second of it.
This conversation helped me realize that I needed to make some big changes in my business to better align my work with my core values. More on that later. (I know, I’m a tease!)
For now, I’m very excited to share this conversation with you.
Opting Out of Capitalism: Can You Be Rested and Wildly Successful?
Here’s the episode description 👇
Sick of burnout culture? Are you a healer, naturally intuitive, or highly sensitive? Do you feel you have to choose between rest and success? Do. Not. Miss. This. Episode.
We’re joined for a deeply honest conversation with Maegan Megginson, a licensed therapist, 7-figure entrepreneur, and dynamite business coach. With her rich background in therapy and business, Maegan brings to light the pressures high-achievers and sensitive people face in a society deeply influenced by patriarchal and capitalistic values—and how to opt out.
After being awarded “The Best at Everything” at school, Maegan vulnerably shares the double-edged sword of childhood praise and achievement and the lasting impact of familial conditioning and expectation on how we perceive ourselves and interact with the world. Maegan offers insightful strategies for disengaging from harmful systems perpetuating stress, burnout, and low self-worth. We break down perfectionism, ambition, and how to be wildly successful without sacrificing self-care.
Together, we explore the intertwining relationship between societal norms and the disempowerment of individuals, discovering ways to challenge and dismantle the systems that harm us. The episode explores the role of boundaries, self-reflection, and incremental changes to shift away from societal pressures towards more rest, success, and authenticity.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
Warmly,
Maegan
